Traditionally,escape is used with from when it means .break loose. and with a direct object when it means .avoid..Thus we might sayThe forger escaped from prison by hiding in a laundry truck, butThe forger escaped prison when he turned in his accomplices in order to get a suspended sentence. In recent years, however,escape has been used with a direct object in the sense .break free of.:
按傳統(tǒng)的慣例，escape 與 from 連用意指.脫逃、自由.， 當(dāng)加直接賓語(yǔ)時(shí)意思為.逃避.。因此我們可以說(shuō)那個(gè)偽造者通過(guò)藏在廚房的運(yùn)貨車中逃離了監(jiān)獄， 但卻不能說(shuō)那個(gè)偽造者為了得到緩刑供出了他的同伙，因此他沒(méi)有進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。 然而近些年來(lái)，escape 與直接賓語(yǔ)連用， 意為.逃脫自由.：
例句：
The craft will acquire sufficient velocity to escape the sun`s gravitational attraction.
飛船將會(huì)以足夠快的速度來(lái)脫離太陽(yáng)的引力。

This usage is well establishedand should be regarded as standard.
